BACKGROUND (a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display.

(b) Description of the Related Art

Liquid crystal displays (LCD) are one of the most widely used flat panel displays at present, and include two display panels on which electrodes are disposed, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the two display panels. The liquid crystal display controls an amount of light to be transmitted by applying a voltage to the electrodes and rearranging liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer.

Among the liquid crystal displays, a structure in which an electric field generating electrode is provided in each of two display panels is mainly used at present. Among them, a structure in which a plurality of thin film transistors and pixel electrodes are arranged with a column form in one display panel (hereinafter, referred to as a ‘thin film transistor display panel’), red, green and blue color filters are disposed in the other display panel (hereinafter, referred to as a ‘common electrode display panel’), and an overall surface of the common electrode display panel is covered with the common electrode is mainly formed.

However, light loss occurs in a polarizing plate and color filters in the liquid crystal display. In order to implement the liquid crystal display having reduced light loss and high efficiency, a photo-luminescent liquid crystal display (PL-LCD) including color conversion materials has been suggested.

The PL-LCD uses a color conversion media (CCM) instead of using the color filters, and when light emitted from a light source is supplied to the color conversion media, a portion of the light emitted from the light source may be diffused in a tilt direction and supplied to adjacent pixels. This phenomenon is referred to as an optical crosstalk, and has a problem in that color reproducibility is reduced.

The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

The scatterers 341 according to an example embodiment may include at least one selected from the group consisting of TiO₂, ZrO₂, Al₂O₃, In₂O₃, ZnO, SnO₂, Sb₂O₃ and ITO, and the present invention is not limited thereto but any materials scattering the incident light may be used. The scatterers allow the incident light to be scattered, thereby increasing a light output amount of light transmitting the color conversion layer 30.

The scattering layer 340 may have a refractive index larger than that of the color conversion media layer 330. Accordingly, the scattering layer 340 includes scatterers 341 having high refractive index, and specifically, the scatterers 341 according to an example embodiment of the present invention have a refractive index of about 1.6 or more.

The scattering layer 340 including the scatterers 341 having the refractive index may allow a portion of the light to be output toward the color conversion media layer 330 again to thereby increase a light output efficiency. That is, the scattering layer 340 is formed below the color conversion media layer 330, such that an amount at which light emitting from the light source is totally reflected may be reduced.

Then, the red color conversion media layer 330R, the green color conversion media layer 330G are formed on the scattering layer 340.

The scattering layer 340 may be formed below at least one color conversion media layer selected from the group consisting of the red color conversion media layer 330R, the green color conversion media layer 330G, and the blue color conversion media layer 330B.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the scattering layers 340R, 340G, and 340B different from each other are positioned below the color conversion media layers 330R, 330G, and 330B, respectively. The color conversion layer of FIG. 5 includes the light blocking member formed between the plurality of scattering layers 340R, 340G, and 340B.

Hereinafter, a manufacturing method of the color conversion layer according to an example embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9 . FIGS. 6 to 9 are cross-sectional views showing a method of manufacturing the color conversion layer according to an example embodiment of the present invention.

First, scatterers 341 are prepared. In addition, a photosensitive resin including the red or green phosphor (or quantum dot) is prepared. Meanwhile, the photosensitive resin for manufacturing the blue color conversion layer may not include the phosphor or the quantum dot. The photosensitive resin and the scatterers 341 onto which dye is adsorbed as prepared above are dispersed to prepare a photosensitive resin for manufacturing the color conversion media layer.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the light blocking members 320 are formed on the substrate 310. Regions in which the color conversion layers are to be formed are etched into a light blocking layer on substrate 310, to thereby form the light blocking members 320 spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval.

Then, the photosensitive resin in which the scatterers 341 are dispersed is applied on the substrate 310 on which the light blocking members 320 are positioned.

Then, after a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. 7 , phases of the scatterers 341 dispersed in the photosensitive resin are separated on the substrate 310 according to a difference in density and a surface characteristic. The reason is because a general photosensitive resin has a density of about 1.1 to about 1.2 g/cm³, and the scatterers 341 formed of titanium oxide according to an example embodiment has a density of about 4.3 g/cm³.

In another example embodiment, the scattering layer 340 is patterned on the substrate 310 on which the light blocking members 320 are positioned, and then, the upper phase of the scattering layer 340 is patterned, to thereby form the scattering layer 340 and the color conversion media layer 330. The scattering layer may be formed only below the specific color conversion media layer through the patterning process.

As shown in FIG. 8 , only the color conversion media layer 330 may be etched by photolithography method using the light blocking members 320 as a mask. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9 , the color conversion media layer 330 and the scattering layer 340 formed below the color conversion media layer 330 may be etched so as to expose the light blocking member 320.

Although the color conversion media layer and the scattering layer formed by the photolithography method are described, the present invention is not limited thereto and a printing method or other methods may be used to form the layers. The present invention is not limited in view of a manufacturing method.

Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 10 and 11 , a front output light amount and output light distribution of the liquid crystal display according to an example embodiment are described. FIGS. 10 and 11 are images showing a change in color on front/side surfaces and a change in luminance according to Comparative Examples and Examples.

First, FIGS. 10 and 11 are Comparative Examples, showing images of a change in color on front/side surfaces and a change in luminance of the liquid crystal display in which the scattering layer is not formed below the color conversion layer.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 10 , it may be appreciated that the change in a luminance between the front surface and the side surface has a large difference. Due to the abnormal light distribution phenomenon (Non-Lambertian), a difference in color between the front surface and the side surface occurs, such that visibility is remarkably deteriorated.

FIG. 11 is an image showing a change in color on front/side surfaces and a change in luminance when the color conversion layer has a significantly increased thickness in order to reduce the abnormal light distribution phenomenon (Non-Lambertian) of FIG. 10 . As shown in FIG. 11 , when the color conversion layer has a predetermined thickness or more, the change in luminance at a high angle is small, such that a difference in luminance of the front surface/the side surface is decreased. However, this is a result from a difference in light path by forming the color conversion layer to have a predetermined thickness or more, such that problems occur in that only the front luminance is increased and cost is increased.

Next, FIG. 12 is an Example according to an embodiment of the present disclosure and it may be appreciated that the color conversion layer has a thin thickness and shows distribution close to the Lambertian light distribution of FIG. 11 .

Hereinafter, the results are described in more detail with reference to Table 1 below.

TABLE 1 Scattering Output Increasing Classification Layer Light Rate Rate Comparative Example (No — 11% — Scattering layer Exists) Example (Scattering layer 10 vol % 18% 166% Exists) 20 vol % 19% 167%

In the, the scattering layer was not included, and a light output ratio was about 11%.

The color conversion layers including the scattering layer according to the Example of the present disclosure had an output light rate of 18% and 19%, respectively. That is, it may be appreciated that the light output ratio of the Example is improved as compared to that of the Comparative Examples without including the scattering layer. In addition, as a result obtained by confirming an increasing rate as compared to the Comparative Example, it was confirmed that the light output ratio was increased by about 66% and 67%. Therefore, it was confirmed that the liquid crystal display according to the Example of the present disclosure had a thin thickness of the color conversion layer, improved light output ratio, and excellent color reproducibility to provide excellent display quality.
